A/N: While me and my friend were playing Halo, I wondered what it would be like for the spartans in the game that have a crappy player controlling them. So I wrote this poem. Hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Halo or anything even vaguely related to Bungie.
Invasion
The sound of battle is all around,
I look to my left and right.
I begin to run, I climb the mound,
I head towards the fight.
I am a spartan, I fight for earth.
I am where I need to be.
I'm stationed on reach, my planet of birth.
"Oh crap, I've got to pee."
What was that voice? was it in my head?
I try to look for my men.
My armor is locked, I'm about to die,
The enemy is closing in.
Why can't I move, I think to myself.
My radar begins to beep.
I try to dodge, I try to run,
but my legs have gone to sleep.
I hear a shot. It's a hit.
My vision begins to blur.
I see my enemy crest the hill,
It's one of those spotted cur.
An Elite is the cause of my demise,
But my duties I did not shirk.
I hear one last thing, before I die,
"I had it on pause, you jerk!"
I hear a noise, some annoying beeps;
I suddenly awake.
What happened to me? I feel no pain?
Why am I by a lake?
But there's no time to ponder my fate,
It's time to press the charge.
I run again towards the battle,
for my enemy is at large.
I see the monster that took my life,
my honor I must avenge.
I lift my gun. I take the shot.
A booming voice says "Revenge".
I try to stop and find the source,
of the voice that spoke so loud.
Then I try but fail to stop myself,
As I shoot into a crowd.
I throw a 'nade, then deploy my shield.
Please protect me, oh Lord.
I can't believe that I didn't see,
The zealot with the energy sword.
A moment later, I feel the collision,
as the plasma pierces my chest.
But once again, as my world faces to black,
The beeping disturbs my rest.
"One minute left" says the loud booming voice.
"Why do I suck?" says my head.
What is happening, I think to myself.
I see a sticky, and then I am dead.
Beep, beep, beep, boop! Once again I awake.
Oh, does this cycle have an end?
But to my dismay, my body turns around,
And I jump into battle again.
"Thirty seconds left", What does it all mean?
"Why am I being such a noob!"
I finally give up. I look at the ground,
Where my eyes find a shiny black tube.
Alas, I am saved! I grab the large gun.
Boldly, my enemies I mock.
"Suck on my rocket!" Then I launch it. Kaboom!
"Are you serious? He has armor lock!"
"Game Over" Says the voice. "No!" says my head.
Our deaths on our kill points did leach.
Well, as I say, that's just an average day,
On the wonderful world of Reach
I hope you liked it. Read and review!
